:) Hello Fellow golfers, Sorry I haven't been able to post the last couple of days. I am in New Orleans at the HP Classic PGA Tour event doing some teaching. I'll report soon. Hold up the forum for me:D Thanks, Brian

Today I accomplished a 22 year goal. Since I am only 42:D, that span is more than half of my life. Three things happened in 1982 that would forever change my life. First it was discovered, by complete accident, that I had a great aptitude for teaching golf. I was working at New Orleans' City...

Brian Manzella, 42, a PGA Teaching Professional who resides in New Orleans, Louisiana and teaches at English Springs @ Different Strokes in Louisville, Kentucky as well as The Learning Center at Bayou Oaks in (New Olreans) City Park, was awarded a Doctorate in Golf Stroke Engineering from The...

"Neutral" Under-the-heel pad Grip. 90 degrees through the belt-line posture and 'hand height' with parallel-to-the-ground neck. Very Slight right side bend at address, only enough to get the right hand lower and the right elbow slightly bent. Early 'set' for beginners/slicers/and recovering...

If you made a perfect backswing pivot, like the one we detailed in last month’s article Perfect PIvot Part 1 and shown below, and you simply un-wound your torso on the same axis that you rotated about on this backswing, you would make a very ineffective body motion (picture below). Yet this...

Hey Tiger, My name is Brian and I teach golf. I met your Dad way back when you were 15 and you were playing at the AJGA Tourney in New Orleans. We had dinner at Nakia Davis' parents house. You couldn't make it because you had to study. BTW, Nakia is getting married in May to a real nice Doctor...

Perfect Pivot (part 1: The backswing) The thing that makes poor golfers look like poor golfers, is a poor pivot. Even the ‘untrained’ eye can see the larger and slower movements of the golfer’s body and whether or not a particular golfer’s action looks correct. Like watching a figure skater...

You can put a laser pointing down the putter shaft and practice keeping the laser on the plane base line . That way you don't get hung up on the putter face opening on the backstroke and closing on the through stroke. Here are a couple of posts from GolfingMachinePro an AI taken from...

Rolling the rock. When I give putting lessons-which golfers take far too few of-it amazes me how little golfers know about what the putter should do during the putting stroke. Regardless of how you grip it, or how you stand to it, the putter should do five very important things. Solid contact...

You Host is getting his torn rotator cuff/bone spur problem taken care of tommorrow. Sorry I haven't been able to post much, but will give ya'll the update when I feel up to it later tommorrow... wish me luck:D

I am in Orlando at the show... will report [8D]tonight!

I gave my first golf lesson in 1982. It was a clinic to a group of about two dozen really young junior golfers and their moms. I was put in charge of the near defunct, City Park (New Orleans) Summer Junior Program. We were to meet ten more times that summer. This was the little ones (and the big...

It's sort of like Tiger Woods (The one THEY want to win) playing a British Open playoff against Scott Hoch and Tiger 'winning' the first playoff hole and the second only to LOSE the four hole 'match' "Tiger really won the playoff" they would say... Nope. The rules WERE SET. Hoch would be the...

Get in position to play your best. The sole reason for setting up to the ball in a certain manner, is to put yourself in a position to hit the ball properly. On standard shots ‘properly’ is hitting the inside-back of the ball, on the way down, with the face slightly open. That's the reason for...

What this cover SHOULD have looked like. OBVIOUS forward lean at the TOP of the shaft...Obvious axis tilt. Next...:D

May the Forces be with you. By Brian Manzella There are many movements the player must perform in an efficient golf swing. But there are only two forces that the golfer has to create. A downward force and a rotational or what I like to call an ‘around-ward’ force. Poor players add directional...

DATELINE NEW ORLEANS: Playing with his groomsmen at Audubon Park in New Orleans, Brian Manzella aced the difficult 201 yard 12th hole with a three iron on Saturday, November 8, 2003, his wedding day. Manzella shot 2 over par for the day.

OK... http://homepage.mac.com/brianmanzella/.Movies/fiddlesmall.mov I designed this drill (demonstration)to SHOW how lag and release happen in a SWING. The first part is taking the 'grip' with thumb/forefinger/&middle finger of both hands. The 'backswing' is a placement of the shaft on the...
